Zhu Ziwu, as the special envoy to participate in the investigation on behalf of Hai Han, naturally could only force himself to stay up late to participate in the interrogation.However, due to the large number of prisoners waiting to be tried, he and the several Haihan officers who came with him had no way to do it all at once, so they could only stare at several places where the main prisoners were interrogated separately, so as not to miss key information.

It's just that the interrogator and the person being interrogated are both Manchurians, Zhu Ziwu couldn't understand the conversation at all, and had to be translated by a human being, which made the whole interrogation process unavoidably stuttering and extremely unsmooth.In the end, the Qing army officer who was in charge of the interrogation didn't bother to take Zhu Ziwu's feelings into consideration any more, and no longer asked the translator to take the initiative to ask his opinion.

Although Zhu Ziwu didn't understand, he could see all the ruthlessness of the Qing army's hands-on torture.Apparently, the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were also extremely angry about this matter, so they continued to use torture methods during the investigation process, regardless of the prisoner's life or death.

At dawn, Qing soldiers brought breakfast, white porridge, pickles, and a lump of boiled mutton.But Zhu Ziwu watched the torture all night, his head was filled with the smell of blood, and smelling the smell of the mutton, he lost his appetite at all, so he barely finished the porridge and didn't even touch the mutton.

On the contrary, the Qing soldiers who did the work ate with great relish, and finally wiped out the big lump of untouched boiled mutton for him. It seems that the torture that night cost them a lot of energy, and they had to pass Eat a lot of food for energy.

As the person in charge of this investigation mission, Suksaha also stayed up all night, reading the statements submitted by various interrogation teams.The reason why it is so urgent to find out the truth of the case is because Suksaha also understands the urgency of the situation. The longer this matter drags on, the easier it is for Haihan to find an excuse to start a war.Only by closing the case before the situation deteriorates can the Haihan people's mouths be blocked and they will not be allowed to take advantage of the situation.

After the breakfast time, Suksaha reconvened the Haihan officers and announced the results of the current investigation to them.

In yesterday's operation, the Qing army captured a total of 240 seven criminals, and all other people in the town were also regarded as accomplices, totaling 760 seven people.The corpses of the 27 people killed by the caravan guards during the crime have all been excavated from the cemetery outside the town, and their identities have been verified one by one.The other [-] criminals were visiting relatives and friends in other places outside the town. Troops were dispatched to pursue them yesterday, and it is believed that they will be arrested in the near future.

The 13 principal criminals who organized and directed the Qingyangbao robbery have all been captured.Most of the robbed goods have also been recovered, and will be delivered to the original owner after they are counted and recorded.

Suksaha also explained the several questions that Haihan was most interested in.

Alin's source of information is one of his nephews, who is also one of the main criminals in the case.This person had stayed in Shenyang City for a long time, and during this period his job was to be a driver for one of the firms that was robbed this time. He resigned and returned to this small town seven days before the robbery.

All the intelligence information about the hijacked convoy was provided to Alin by this person.Allin was greedy, thinking that he could rob this batch of property quietly, and use it as military expenses to strengthen his tribe after realizing it.So he ordered his men and horses together, took weapons and dry food, marched quietly for more than a hundred miles, waited for three days near Qingyang Castle, and finally waited for this convoy.

Afterwards, as everyone knows, Alin led this Niulu armed force to raid the convoy, robbed all the goods after killing and wounding many people, and abandoned the carriage after crossing the border, and carried the goods back on horses. small town.

Alin took part of the loot as a reward and distributed it to the various households participating in the operation. The purpose, of course, was to keep everyone a secret.As for the subsequent distribution of spoils, it will have to wait until these goods are realized on the black market.

However, it soon spread from the border area that Haihan officials offered a high price to collect information about the Qingyang Fort robbery.Alin didn't dare to take the risk of finding a place to sell the stolen goods at this time, so he looked for a place outside the town to hide the stolen goods, but unexpectedly, it was still impossible to avoid leaking the news. In just a few days, Sukesaha led the army to find come to your door.

According to the confessions of Alin and other principal criminals, Suksaha concluded that there was no other mastermind behind the case, and that all actions were planned and implemented by this small tribe.

Since the chain of evidence is relatively clear, and Haihan officers also participated in the entire process of tracing, arresting, evidence gathering, and interrogation, there is no objection to Suksaha's assertion.

This made Suksaha breathe a sigh of relief.What he was most worried about was not the small problem of recovering all the stolen goods and catching all the prisoners, but that the Haihan people did not recognize their own investigation results at all in order to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and then magnified the situation.For example, if Haihan wants to forcefully send troops to the territory of Manchu in the name of arresting the murderer, then he will be in great trouble.

However, it seems that this incident did not develop in the direction that Suksaha was worried about. At least the situation can be controlled within this small town, and there is no need to upgrade the target to a higher level.

However, the Haihan Observation Group immediately raised a new question to Suksaha, that is, the follow-up treatment of related criminals.Chen Yixin originally wanted Manqing to be handed over to Haihan after he captured the real culprit, but after repeated discussions with Geng Jimao, it was finally agreed that Manqing would execute the judgment and punishment measures.Of course, if the result does not satisfy Hai Han, then this matter will not be settled easily.

Suksaha had already prepared for this, so the answer he gave made it difficult for the Haihan observation group to make further bargaining.

Suksaha said that all the direct participants in this case will be sentenced to death, and their heads will be placed in an important border area near Qingyangbao to serve as an example to others.And all the accomplices were demoted to slavery, distributed three thousand miles, and sent to the remote Sakhalin Island to work as coolies.All the properties of the Niulu were sold off by the Manchu Qing official organization, and then they were used as compensation for the aftermath.

However, Alin and other principal criminals need to stay alive for the time being, and Suksaha will escort them back to Hetuala City to hand over to Shunzhi.After Shunzhi's personal trial, he was escorted to the border of Sarhu, where the two countries jointly supervised the execution.At that time, if Haihan wants to send someone to carry out the execution, then we can discuss it again.

As for the prosecution of Xiangbaiqi, Niulu's superior, which is beyond Suksaha's power, he has to report the details of the case to Shunzhi, who then decides how to punish Xiangbaiqi.

This kind of treatment can be described as extremely severe, all those involved in the robbery were sentenced to death, Zhu Ziwu was also secretly shocked when he heard it.But what made him feel very uncomfortable was that the Qing army frequently invaded Daming back then, and there were countless similar incidents a year, but there had never been a similar handling method.The behavior of the Manchu Tartars was too bullying.
